UAE have announced a 17-member outfit for the upcoming Asia Cup.

If Bangladesh qualify for the Super 4, they will then move to Dubai for the remaining matches.

The starting time of 18 out of 19 matches in the upcoming Asia Cup have been pushed back by 30 minutes, announced the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) in a press release on Saturday.

Despite doubts over star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) kept the leg-spinner in their 16-member squad for the Asia Cup, scheduled to be played in the UAE from September 9 to 28.

Afghanistan have announced their Asia Cup squad mixed with seasoned campaigners and emerging players all set to be led by their star player Rashid Khan.

On Friday, chief selector Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu achieved what many of his predecessors couldn't do – announce a Bangladesh squad for a tournament without much uproar.

The matches will begin at 6:30 pm local time (8:30 pm Bangladesh time).

On the silver jubilee of realising the Test dream, the former Bangladesh Cricket Board and Asian Cricket Council official talked to The Daily Star's Samsul Arefin Khan about how they achieved the Test status.

On the occasion of Bangladesh’s 25 years in Test cricket, former national opener Biddut spoke to The Daily Star, reflecting on the historic phase and what transpired afterwards, and more.

In an interview with The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan, opening batter Mohammad Naim discussed his frustrations over missed opportunities and approach to overcoming setbacks, among other issues.

Team owner Mizanur Rahman, who was present with his family, was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and said, “We dedicate this victory to the martyrs of July. This victory is not just ours; it’s the victory of the people of Barishal.”

Mahidul Islam Ankon was the surprise package of the just-concluded Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). The wicketkeeper-batter, who is better known for his steadfast run-making, plundered 316 runs in 12 innings for Khulna Tigers as a finisher with an astonishing strike-rate of 174.58 – the highest among all batters with at least 300 runs in BPL 11.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) informed that the board would be assuming “responsibility for the contract and match fees of all international players signed from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) draft”, however, it made no such commitment for the directly signed overseas cricketers.

A dramatic last-ball boundary shattered Khulna Tigers' Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign to a heartbreaking end on Thursday. Yet, head coach Talha Jubair deserves credit for guiding a team lacking star power to the penultimate hurdle, marking another chapter in the former national pacer's coaching journey. The 39-year-old spoke to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan about why he prefers being a bowling coach, the evolution of Bangladesh’s pace bowling and more. Here are the excerpts from the interview:

As the dust settles on what has been a train wreck of a season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the time for retrospection has begun.

Fortune Barishal were left with a daunting task yesterday at the end of Chittagong Kings’ innings in the final of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in Mirpur, but they ended up creating history with a three-wicket victory to clinch back-to-back BPL titles.

Fortune Barishal captain Tamim Iqbal was given a grand reception by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) right after the final of the 11th Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), which his side won by three wickets against Chittagong Kings in Mirpur on Friday.

Tamim Iqbal and Kyle Mayers shone with the bat as defending champions Fortune Barishal executed a record run-chase to beat Chittagong Kings by three wickets in a thrilling finish to the Bangladesh Premier League final at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Friday. 

Bangladesh Premier League franchise Durbar Rajshahi have missed another payment deadline yesterday.
